In the event that, I record observations of my first leader for one family I provide care for, I have determined that she is in most definitely task oriented. To demonstrate, she prioritizes her daily schedule by following her everyday tasks. First, she has us wake up the kids the same time everyday for school followed by breakfast. Second she preps their lunches for school along with making a weekly grocery list. Then, takes the kids to school and heads to work. As soon as, the kids get home from school she gets them snacks and directs me to assist them in homework. In that time, I take over watching the kids and take care of feeding them dinner, playing games, doing outside activities, as well as helping them take their showers and get ready for bed. Finally, after she gets home from the gym, she prepares her kids …show more content…

Hence, the main focus is on the kids, therefore keeping them on a schedule keeps the days organized. For the most part, she also connects with me on the days she is out of town so we can determine how that week will be scheduled out. Correspondingly, she lack greatly of having any relationship leadership skills. Not to mention, I have been providing care for this family for almost six years. Henceforth, my supervision for her leadership skills, has been undergoing for some time now. Unfortunately, with the task behavior she acquires, she could absolutely improve her skills as a leader for her kids. Under those circumstances, consistency in punishment is definitely lacking. Thus, results in many insubordinate behavior from the kids. All things considered, there is always room for improvement for everyone. In the long run, I can continue to learn from this, and keep progressing in understanding the benefit of pursuing the behaviors of task and relationship leadership. In brief, advancing my knowledge in leadership is one of the keys to

In her book “Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life,” Lareau depicts a family where the eldest son’s schedule “determines where the adults must be and when they must be there, sets the timing and types of meals for everyone… and even shapes the family vacation plans” (42). In the specific story, the parents have jobs with flexible hours, so they are able to give the child the ability to participate in all of the activities that interest him. While it seems like a wonderful thing to be able to allow children to explore everything they are interested in, it can be difficult for the children to learn that their parents’ lives are also a top priority. If a child is taught to believe that their schedule is the most important part of their family life, they may struggle with someone else’s activities taking priority. Also, if the parents have more than one child then they must deal with giving equal priority to everyone, which is difficult, if not impossible.

Leadership Thought Prior to 1900 The earliest study of leadership thought would be the “Great Man Theory. This theory conceptualized leaders as a single “Great Man” who knew everything and influenced others to follow him. In leadership discourse, the Great Man theory—an assertion that certain individuals, certain men, are gifts from God placed on earth to provide the lightening needed to uplift human existence—is associated mainly with Thomas Carlyle (Spector, 2015, p.250). The focal-point of this theory is that leaders’ skills are inherent and set that them apart from those around them and that these traits enable them to assume roles of power and authority.

Through self-reflection and academic readings, I have discovered that I identify with three different leadership theories. During the first meeting in a Strength Based Leadership class, we were asked to write our leadership history. The class then began an ongoing exploration of various leadership theories. Upon reviewing my leadership history from the first class and synthesizing the information from the theories that were examined, I discovered that I most resonate with the Trait Leadership Theory, the Skills Leadership Theory, and the Path-Goal Leadership theory. These theories are leader focused, describing the process and techniques a leader uses to accomplish goals.

Nice discussion post this week! You start off with a great definition of what leadership is. To me, it is hard to define what leadership is, especially in one sentence, but I agree with you that leadership is the action of leading others or an organization. I feel like it is when someone steps up and goes into the unknown as well. It is also important to mention that it is never just one single person.
